Marie-Augustin Zwiller, born in Didenheim on July 10, 1850, and died in Neuilly-sur-Seine on June 24, 1939, was a French painter. Known primarily for his nudes inspired by Jean-Jacques Henner, he also distinguished himself with his portraits of Mulhouse's high society and his scenes of the daily lives of the city's workers. Most of his works in public collections are exhibited at the Mulhouse Museum of Fine Arts and the Sundgau Museum in Altkirch.
